Affiliate yourself with the AMA – Form a Collegiate Chapter

What’s required to form a Collegiate Chapter?

Submit a petition containing the signatures of five collegiate students who are willing to become AMA members and the first members of your chapter; collegiate chapters must reach and maintain a minimum of 25 members within two years of affiliation

Find a faculty member on your campus who will serve as faculty advisor to the Chapter. This person must also be an AMA member.

Create a constitution outlining how the Chapter will operate (Don’t worry, the AMA provides you with a sample to get started!)

Submit the proper paperwork, the membership applications of the five people who signed the petition, and a one-time $50 USD affiliation fee to AMA Headquarters for review.

If everything is in order, the AMA will send you a Chapter Charter, recruitment and promotion materials, and helpful tools to assist you in Chapter management.

If you are ready to get started, contact the AMA for an Affiliation Kit at collegiate@ama.org or call 1 (800) AMA-1150 ext. 9079.
